Xs and Ys – Albany – March 31st, 2012
The Garage Games series and CrossFit Albany are hosting a couple’s competition (you don’t actually have to be dating or married to enter as a couple). From experience, Dual competitions are a TON of fun. There’s a scaled and Rx’d division, so would make for a great first competition to do with your special someone….or a friend of the opposite sex. Sign up here!
Battle of the Forces 2012 – North Haven CrossFit – May 12, 2012
With such a strong crew of Law Enforcement, Military, Firefighters here at CrossFit Nyack…Let’s try and get a crew together for what looks like an awesome competition!
The Battle of the Forces will showcase the fittest athletes, male and female, from the Navy, Marines, Army, Coast Guard, Air Force, State/Local PD, and Firemen … with the goal to determine not only the fittest branch, but the fittest members within each branch. The goal is to provide our hero’s with an avenue to showcase their skills and fitness levels. Benefits the Wounded Warrior Project.

Spartan Race – New York Spartan Sprint, Tuxedo Ridge, NY – June 3, 2012
This race was AWESOME last year!!! Again, CrossFit Nyack would like to get a good crew together and race as a team! For those interested, our plan is to compete on Sunday, June 3. The race itself is a tough 3 mile obstacle race full of mud, barbed wire fences, fire, rope walls, and giant men who beat you up with giant q-tips. Think you’re Spartan tough? The heat you sign up for on Sunday is not incredibly important, as we should be able to get everyone into the same heat for the race. Here’s the info! It’s only 100 days away!!
Summer Challenge – CrossFit Warwick, Warwick, NY – June 16, 2012
Our friends at CrossFit Warwick are hosting what’s sure to be a great competition close to home on June 16. Coaches Matt, Timmy, and Steph competed last year at Warwick and had an absolute blast! They’ve got some fun sponsors, there’s an open and a 40+Master’s division, and it is a great first crossfit competition (neither Steph nor Timmy had competed in a CrossFit comp prior). It would be great to bring a huge crew of athletes along for a day of fun! Please go here for more info or click this to sign up!

No Baby Leave the Socks on Throwdown! – CrossFit Relentless, West Hartford, CT – June 23, 2012
Although this one is currently sold out, Please let us know if you are still interested. Spots often open up as competition time approaches and we may be able to get some more of you in. Currently there are 3-4 of us entered, but would love it if any more of you ladies can join! It is available only to women competitors (men, you may and are encouraged to come watch) and is also good for first time competitors! Here’s the info
———-
Whether you don’t think you’re ready, are scared, think you’ll get your butt kicked, or there is another reason you’re hesitant to sign up for an event, we encourage you to start thinking about it anyway. Bottom line is you are all ATHLETES and have and will continue to make great strides. Many of these events do test your mental toughness but we assure you, these will leave you happy, proud, and hungry for more (ok, and maybe tired, sore, and just plain hungry). We STRONGLY feel events like these are something you should all experience. You are all capable of competing, completing, and kicking ASS…and don’t worry…there’s no need to be Annie Thorisdottir or Rich Froening, Jr to do so! Again, talk to Matt, Pete, or Steph if you are at all interested…young or old, let’s get IN!
***Also! If there are other competitions or races not listed above that you are interested in or have signed up for, let us know and we’ll try and get a crew together! CAN’T wait for all this to get going!!***
YUM!!!!!
